A friend asked for some clarification after my last numerology post, which led into a brief explanation about the Master Number 44. I thought you might be interested as well, so I’m sharing a bit of my response below.

August 31st was our first 44 day of the year 2012. Master Number 44/8 is the vibration of self-discipline, abundance and success through Balance. But this isn’t the kind of success summation that everyone seems to preach about 8s. 8 is not necessarily about “success” as most fluff books out there tend to promote. And though the Chinese consider it lucky, it’s not because of the Divine aspects of the archetype, but because the interpretation was colored by culture as they associated the number 8 with that of royalty. The dichotomy between peasants and hierarchy. 8 is a leadership number that demands great responsibility, but tends to be more openly on a pedestal. And a tedious one at times at that.

44 is the Master Vibration of Dynamic Inspiration. And it requires balance between worlds. Balancing family/work, spirit/earth, emotion/logic, etc. with a strong foundation established in each. Foundation is key. Without a good foundation, things fail. Like the house built on sand. 44 tests that foundation. But it also tests connection between “earth and sky.” Foundation is half the equation. A building isn’t enough to just have the foundation and skeleton. The realization of the vision involves the rest, the design, the architecture. You won’t get there without the planning and work (4), but it’s not complete until the rest is put together – the part everyone sees and focuses on (8). That’s why 8 is the number of completion. And that’s why it’s so attractive and glowy. It’s like a celebrity. It’s the pretties we see in that fantastic feat of architecture. No one tends to admire the foundation, but the building would not be possible without it.

I find that Balancing issues come up around 44. We have also in history had events like the tsunami in 2004 fall on 44 days.

August 30th led into the energy with a hidden 11, the Job number, which led into the small numerological arch of influence I’ve already noted between the two days. Btw, that’s Job as in the old testament bible story about Job. 11 is a number of spiritual leadership and testing. Lessons under 11 are not about the physical things that happen, but about what you do and the spiritual side of the happening.

Like this:

It’s November 2009. A month I’ve been waiting to experience. There’s not much going on (in my book) in astrological or other circles. This month’s significance is really all NUMBER. The 11th month in the first 11 year in 99 years. I’ve already written extensively about what the master number 11 means. You can find much detail on the number 11 on my blog here.

I know everyone is waiting for specific dates, and certainly, I have provided some. But the truth and reality is, the entire month of November 2009 is significant. And I expect much out of this month, manifesting both on the personal as well as national/societal levels.

This entire year has inherently been about a time of unveiling. A revealing of that which is hidden. A truth that is brought out, even when you don’t recognize it at first. Some pockets of dates stronger than others. But this especially sets up during this month, as we also get closer to the end of this year. It’s a new millenium. Things are different now. 11 is setting the anchor. What used to work just won’t work as well anymore and now there are new things and ways to learn. And some things people didn’t realize are about to be revealed as they begin to fail. As well as the characters of friends, family and role models become more transparent. Sometime this month you will likely discover either a friend or an enemy, realistically or metaphorically, in plain sight of your everyday life.

This month brings both challenge and transformation, I expect especially in the arena of law and government, but also our personal foundations and relationships. It also presents choice and sacrifice. And in all things, a call to do that which is right, without compromise (of the honor sort) no matter what. It’s not about what happens, it’s about what you do with it.

Speaking of compromise, there is a push for that as well, of the loving cooperative sort. But it is not what most people think of. Most people seem to think compromise means, do/see things my way. True compromise requires all parties to give something up equally. A meeting in the middle does not require more from another than of yourself. And sometimes it means scrap everything and find another way. Cooperation is key to this Compromise. It’s a two way street. And sometimes cooperation means trying something new altogether.

11-11-2009 is a date of great significance for obvious reasons. With 2009 being an 11 year, that brings the vibrations to 11-11-11. For once, the world will focus on the number pattern of this date for what it truly is, without dropping the 2 in 2009 or something else folks seem to often do when they look at numbers. 11-11-11 IS significant numerologically. And it will have even more significance as the world focusses on it and gives it energy. That which you give energy and focus to will manifest. And when the world’s attention falls on something that truly is significant, whether we realize it or not, then the energy will be that much more augmented. This entire week is ripe with potential. 11-29-2009 will also be a very powerful date, though it’s presence will be a little more subtle.

11-11-2009 carries the master number 33 in totality. 33 is the master number of Unconditional Love and Self-Sacrifice. You can read extensively on my blog about 33 here. Coupled with the energies of 11, a great deal of responsiblity and leadership falls during this time. And the sacrifice? Might not be the way you think about it. Unconditional Love is not always soft and emotional. It is very action oriented too. For instance, true Love does not allow someone to hurt themselves or another. It is not loving to enable abuse. It is not loving to neglect. Unconditional Love and sacrifice often means out of Love, I do that which is right for the greater good, no matter how un-popular. Unconditional Love is expressed in the Native American way of making decisions with the lives of those who are 13 generations into the future in mind. That it’s not just about now, or tomorrow, but 100 years from now too. That we are careful about the doors we open, lest they not be able to be closed again. That we slow down, as every major religious and spiritual approach in the world pleads with us to do. To slow down, to clear our minds, to talk to God as we understand it, and listen to the small still voice within.

The US will have more challenge before the year is done, involving boundaries, discipline, work ethic, government and law. We are currently in a 22 cycle and all the master number energies are raining down on us now. You can read more about 22 on my blog here. Part of it makes it a good time to put things in order. But part of it creates challenge to keep it simple silly. To many details spoil this energy. It is not suited for loads of details. It is suited for simple and clear. And this energy, if anything, calls for a diet. It is the same energy that manifests de-cluttering. It pushes us to strip out the fat, to tighten our belts and go to the gym.

On a personal level, I highly recommend that now is the time to prepare for next year. Look ahead now, as the challenge next year brings will likely involve reputation, business and career. January 2010 will give you a second shot, but Mercury will be retrograde through the first half, so get started now and wrap up anything that needs completing in 2009. Your window of opportunity is small this time.

Now is a time of testing. As individuals. As a nation. It is not impossible to abuse master number energy. Hitler was a master number person, as much as Edgar Cayce. It will be pressed upon us, as well as our leaders, to take the higher road and not just live honorably and true, but lead as well. The numerological path of The United States of American is 99. The responsibility to be a Light and example to the world. And the responsibility to be there for the rest of the world as well, no matter how lonely at times. Our nation’s rife with master numbers, surrounding our every major step for growth and around our every challenge. We’re experiencing number patterns that have not been experienced since our nation began at the threshold of revolution. It is a time of transformation.

For those who don’t know me personally – I crochet. And one of my passionate charity efforts is to give special crochet hats and items to people going through chemo or other major medical situations, especially to children. Crochet is very meditative for me and as I create something, I infuse the intent of joy and healing into what I make. I also focus energy toward the item being a beautiful experience to wear. Whether I give it away, or I sell my creation, I truly desire my work to be ongoing blessings to others.

Spirit Jump is a simple concept in sending encouragement to others. It’s as simple as a card to say hey – I’m pulling for you as you battle this; to say I send you Love. It doesn’t even require money to participate, only your time.

It’s perfect for my work, as I am given permission to essentially send someone healing. And I dare say that if you are reading my blog, that it’s perfect for your energetic work as well. Making a difference in this world one Light at a time.

Author’s Note: As “The Heretical Numerologist,” I find it important to note that my life’s work and “calling” deals with Soul-Rooted Numerology (my words) and the dedicated study and interpretation of Master Numbers of all ranks, as well as double and triple digit interpretations. I apply this information to Souls and Nations alike. This is a relatively newer field of numerological application and research, and not something I take lightly. All things must stand up to clarified logic. I seek to recognize patterns that Are, not imply patterns that don’t exist. It is also an area of numerology many numerologists have not (yet) accepted, and often argue over. But I find that just as Pythagoras introduced the known world to the concept of 9 after it remained hidden by the Chaldeans for so long, that now it is time for humanity to learn about and embrace the higher vibrations of the cosmos of numbers, the Master Numbers and the complex vibrations of multiple digits. Why? Because we have evolved enough as a human race and are ready for them. Just as every planet, as it was discovered throughout our history, had to be embraced and interpreted in astrology, so now numerology is taking its leap into more complex dimensions. I find comfort in returning to original Pythagorean related texts, the study of music, as well as many researched and older sources as possible. All my predictions, blogs, classes and writing operate from this point of view. What you read here is what I teach.

Everything in Life is a Song. We need but to Sing its Note.

April is the 4th month of the year and interestingly enough, 4 is the number of structure, planning, boundaries, organization and law. Is it any wonder then, why we tend to fill up our dearly beloved month of April with taxes, planning our summers (especially if you have kids) and spring cleaning? Or as I like to put it – spring flinging! This is always an excellent time of year for decluttering and clarifying our lives and setting the “behavioral boundaries, legal, office and paperwork” stage for the rest of our year. April is an excellent month for doing a little research and getting at least a thumb note sketch idea of how we’d like to see the rest of the year go. It is also an excellent time to implement habits, discipline and routines.

One quarter of our new year is already completed when we finally hit April and by the end of April, it turns into one third. This vacillation between the psychological idea that “we’ve just barely begun the year” and, “oh my, we’re at 1/3 of the year (or tax time) already?” presents an interesting energy that we can capitalize upon as we take all the energy of organization and planning and implement it now.

April is a mostly a fairly quiet month in 2009 when it comes to the more intense layers of numerological energies. However, this is due to the lull before the storm. Because the very end of April packs in a power punch of intense energy, one of the very few we see not only this year, but ever have in most of our lifetimes. Why? Because the first 11 year on the Western calendar in 99 years brings in some challenges and energies that we are not accustomed to, as well as some mathematical patterns. In doing so, as the dates lay out in 2009, it creates an arc of influence that will last a week and culminate with the May 7th Mercury retrograde.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s go back and catch up first.

April 7th is our first day of numerological significance. Energy during this time brings challenges in one-on-one relationships as well as to organizations. This is a good time to focus “group” energy towards that of the “greater good.” Also a good time to invest in your partnerships and contacts.

When we come around to April 18th, we arrive upon the master number energies of 33 – Unconditional Love. A great time to make use of this powerful positive energy. However unconditional love is also, at it’s defining root, often about sacrifice. And sometimes sacrifice that others do not see, do not value or cannot comprehend; sacrifice even at great cost. It is important to note that Love is a choice, not simply a feeling, and True Love IS… simply because it MUST. 33 understands that someone must be Love even when others are not or refuse. 33 stands in the gap and fills this void, even at physical cost. So this energy of Unconditional Love, sometimes at great sacrifice, intensifies on this day, challenging us all to raise our awareness’s and the vibration of our deeds.

But there is an additional spiritual lesson wrapped up into it as well. A challenge of law and structure comes into play. We are in a new time, a new millennium, working with new energies. Old structures and attitudes no longer serve and must change. Sometimes at great sacrifice. Take a look at the world around you and feel what is going on in the hearts of Men. The law and structure that our world has depended upon and thought of as infallible becomes more transparent in this year. Challenges lie in not just the recognition that things must shift, but in what we do with this knowledge. To further illustrate, I return to the example I give in nearly every lecture and class I teach; In numerology – Numbers ALWAYS have their way. You cannot resist or choose to ride against this Divine Energy. It is what this physical plane is founded upon. It is the Pattern of Law in this Universe. When you learn about the energies at work around you, you have choices as to what to do with them. You know there is a flood coming. You could do nothing, and be taken away. You could move out of the way, saving yourself, and yet there is still destruction. Or you can harness that energy and power your entire city. The choice to make active choices and channel the energy is your and yours alone.

We know we are operating under new energies, requiring new thought and new approaches. Yet we wait for everything to return to the way it used to be. And I am here to tell you, simply looking at numbers – it will never ever be that way again. Everything truly is different and whether we desire it or not, everything we think about the way we do business, how we view education, how we view health, how we view family and friends, how we view success and abundance, how we view religion and politics (another type of religion) are all undergoing a shift. I’ve been saying this for years. Now we’re in an 11 year where everything comes to it’s first head and a time when master number energies remain compounded. Remember, the lesson under 11 is always spiritual in nature, not physical – even if it radiates into the physical.

Our most significant punch lands on us April 29th when three layers of master number energies collide and create an arc of influence for the next week that culminate on May 6th, setting the stage for the next Mercury retrograde beginning May 7th. Energies at play during this time involve conquering the ego in all it’s negative forms. Which is pretty vast, because nearly all human short-comings involve the ego in some form. Whether the ego is over-inflated or anorexic in its passive-aggressive tendencies, nearly all aspects of challenges in the physical world involve setting aside the ego in its negative forms. Expect a blow to your perceptions during this time. Someone may let you down. You may let others down. Old issues you thought were long gone pop up and knock your head and say “‘ello!” Hidden truths are exposed, both positive and negative during this time. Find your hidden message. This is one of the best windows of opportunities all year to receive this.

This is also an incredible time to focus on higher vibrational energies, in terms of spiritual and humanitarian service to the greater Good – all things sourced from the Pure Heart. If you choose to channel this incredible energy towards these wonderfully positive means, what you will be able to accomplish will be incredible. Days like this are often the turning points of history that could even take years later to finally understand. If you really desire to make a difference in this world that promotes cooperation and complementation over division, this is a good wave to ride.

On the financial side of things, now is a time for conservation and planning. This is a good time to whittle down your debt and get rid of clutter, but not to spend or invest in what you do not need. It is important to note that clutter is a word that can be far reaching. Debt is a form of clutter, not just too much paperwork or too much stuff. It is time to deal with unloading the extra weight on your life right now, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If you do not have a financial plan for the rest of the year, sit down and pencil it out now. Clarification, not simplification, is extremely key here. Keep it simple in a non-complicated sort of sense, but clarify, so every effort really counts. Establish yourself a bottom line code that you plan to stick to this year and do it. Greater challenges lie ahead when the US hits a 22 cycle this summer. However, do not misunderstand and think that all this means you do not need a family vacation or to invest time in friends or travel to see family. If anything, that is extremely important this year. Pare down to the essentials and clarify. Who, what, where, when, why? What is it that really matters in life? Seriously? What is your gift and calling? Seriously. Who is important if all else fails? Seriously! Where do you wish to be? Seriously. And when! Even answer that core “why” in there. Bullet points are enough and a good start; then pursue.

Well, it’s March and there’s a lot to cover. Everyone has a message to receive somewhere. I know you understand.

March, March, March… ‘Tis a Jolly month. Or at least it’s supposed to be. It hides the birth of Spring and the excitement of things to come. Though in Central Texas we already begin to see. Creativity is in the air and it’s a great time to create something new or anew in your life.

This month’s challenge as a general whole deals with volatility and evaluation. A point in time when we must look to the past and evaluate how things have been operating. What doesn’t work and what isn’t balanced? That needs to be tossed aside, never to be picked up again. Now – what worked? What’s valuable? These are as important, if not more important, to figure out under this challenge. What are the core principles that work? What is truly – and I mean TRULY important? Don’t look at the surface – that’s not core to our issues. It’s just not. Don’t look to your peers to make your decisions either. Look within. WHAT MATTERS? What, when all else fails, is important? Because THOSE things need to be identified and kept before moving forward. The peripheral stuff that didn’t work and doesn’t matter? Well, they served their purpose thus far to teach – now cut them like a pillow tag and move on, enjoying the release. Hmmm? And that pillow tag? Don’t get hung up over it. You’ve had it for years – it’s served its purpose, now enjoy its absence.

This should be creative and fun if possible. This isn’t a release and become depressed kind of scenario and energy. This is a release and celebration. With well wishes around. It’s not about division. It’s about unity through the gift of clarification. And you really should get out and enjoy the infant Spring air. By end of this month, I expect you to fling open those windows, even if only for a brief while, and soak in the re-Birth.

March of this year marks an important evaluation period that demands that we keep in mind flow, freedom and flexibility. And when it comes to evaluating things outside yourself that involve others, remember that you are keeping in mind these characteristics for them as well as yourself. Currently I am revisiting a book called “Focusing,” by Gendlin. It is appropriate for this first re-evaluation period we must face this year. It shows how to hone in on the heart of a matter – whatever it may be. And it reveals that the outer appearance and outer feelings are rarely what’s at source. It’s a cheap little paperback for about $8 new, less for used. I highly recommend you find a copy and give it a try.

March gives us a bit of a relief in the intense numerological energy department. However, there are two main dates of numerological note and I expect them to be pretty intense. Thursday, March 19 and Monday, March 30th. Please watch the 30th in particular and please be patient with people and take your time getting to work.

March 19th carries master Number 33 inherent and March 30th carries Master Number 44. Now here is where we get into myinterpretations of Master Numbers as “The Heretical Numerologist.” You will not find these interpretations elsewhere. And you may not reprint this information without my permission.

Master Number 33/6 is the martyr number and the Master Vibration of Pure Unconditional Love. But it’s not about being martyred, though certainly it has happened. It is about loving that much. Giving that much. And being willing to give and sacrifice – the essence of unconditional love, until it hurts. To give it all, even if no one ever knows how much you gave, even if no one ever understands, and even in the face of being accused of being the complete opposite of who you are. Remember what being a martyr really means – not the drama imbalanced label we give people we’re impatient with and are tired of listening to. That’s not the martyr I’m talking about. I speak of the Nameless One, willing to give it all for the Greater Good. Because it’s not about wearing a badge. It’s about Purity of Heart and holding that energetic space of what True Love means. Love is not simply a feeling. It is an Action and it is a Choice. Master Number 33 knows this better than nearly any other vibration. 33 Loves because someone must love first for others to learn love. 33 Loves because it is right, even in the face of odds, unbelievers and the unappreciative who have not the maturity to reciprocate. 33 Loves because It Is Love. It must.

Master Number 44/8 is the vibration of self-discipline, abundance and success through Balance. But this isn’t success like everyone seems to preach it for 8s. It really has little to do with money – though when 44 is in balance, certainly security is present. But that is a by-product, not what 44 is about. It is about success of the Soul, as 44 is the Master Vibration of Dynamic Inspiration. 44 knows more than others about attitude and overcoming in the face of great odds. 44 accomplishes this through logic and structure. “Know Thyself” is key with this master vibration. And sometimes that means knowing your limits.

What does this mean when we hit days with these vibrations? It means these are the general energetic challenges we all face as a society on a personal level. And how this plays out in our circle of reality depends on us. These days challenge us to push to a higher ideal. To be something a little more. To operate on a higher plane. The lesson is different each time. We get to shift from various approaches to others and work through them in cycles. And then we hit the “testing” days. The “pop-quizzes” of the numerological world. And for some people they are more major tests, depending on their own personal numerology. And the question is, “So where do you stand?” and “Are you really who you think you are?”

As I always say (but repeat here for the benefit of newcomers) when one of these days of intense energy falls upon a Monday, we generally witness an increase in traffic collisions in the Austin, TX area. I don’t live elsewhere, so I cannot report what traffic is like there. However, these intense energies generally enter our realm of experience about a day in advance and they are meant to either be used in purity for higher service, or to challenge us. One extreme or the other (or sometimes both). As such, many people do not deal with these energies well. We also as a society often don’t deal with Monday mornings well either. And all too often this plays out on our highways.

Our highway and traffic systems operate on the principles of flow. Just like chi. Just like blood. When everything is operating as it should be in balance, the flow works. When something goes out of balance though, then flow is interrupted. It’s a simple energetic principle. So be patient with others. Not everyone is an older soul. And that’s OK. And plenty of older souls aren’t perfect – so got you there too. It’s the elders’ jobs to be there for the younger souls too you know. Be the bigger man or woman as it may be. Don’t cause the wreck – hmmmm? And don’t be silly enough to think you’re above the challenge. Why do you think you were born? This Life is about nothing if not about challenge – and what you do with it.

So go – and make a positive infection out of your day. What radiant effect will you make?
